Suspect Arrested In Cta Robberies

A 42-year-old West Side man was charged with seven counts of armed robbery Saturday in connection with a rash of holdups in the last two months at ``L`` stations across the city, police said.

Undercover tactical officers with the public transportation section of the Chicago Police Department arrested Larry Fisher at 2:30 a.m. Saturday as he returned to his home at 150 N. Hermitage Ave., according to Lt. Robert Angone, coordinator of the CTA unit.

Angone described Fisher as ``a one-man crime wave.``

Angone said seven ``L`` station ticket agents identified Fisher in a lineup Saturday. Police suspect him in nearly 25 holdups of ticket agents in the last two months from as far south as Indiana Avenue to Bryn Mawr Avenue on the North Side.

Police said the robberies netted about $5,000 in cash and an undetermined amount in tokens.
